dc.description.abstract The interview is about inflation and fluctuation of prices throughout the past five years in Puerto Rico where the narrator had some stories from his point of view being a high school student and now a college student. During Maria he had a few stories that involved his grandparents losing their house and spending the night in their bathroom. During the earthquakes, he had a situation with the demand of gasoline which involved going through four municipalities in search of gasoline. He also talked about the instability of the UPR system with the cuts and everything which involved him leaving after a semester because he saw that things were not going to get better. Moving to another university during the current inflation became a hassle to a point where he decided to get a job in a shoe store for him to cope with the cost of living in 2022. en
dc.description.abstract La entrevista trata sobre la inflación y la fluctuación de los precios a lo largo de los últimos cinco años en Puerto Rico. El narrador contó algunas historias desde su punto de vista como estudiante de secundaria y ahora estudiante universitario. Durante el huracán María, tuvo algunas historias que involucraban a sus abuelos perdiendo su casa y pasando la noche en su baño. Durante los terremotos, tuvo una situación con la demanda de gasolina que implicó recorrer cuatro municipios en busca de gasolina. También habló de la inestabilidad del sistema de la UPR con los recortes y todo lo que implicaba. Esto ocasionó que el estudiante abandonara el recinto después de un semestre porque veía que las cosas no iban a mejorar. Mudarse a otra universidad durante la inflación actual se convirtió en un gran inconveniente, hasta el punto en que decidió conseguir un trabajo en una zapatería para poder hacer frente al costo de vida en el 2022. es
